The Royal Sonesta was perfect for our family vacation. We had a small room that featured two "queen" beds. It was small but we were not there for the room. We spent two nights visiting the Science museum and the location was great! The pool was open until 10 which was great because we were too busy during the day to enjoy it. There is a large shopping mall across the street. We had a nice breakfast at the restaurant on site with views of the Charles River. We will be back!

The Royal Sonesta was a great option for our long weekend in Boston. Easy to get to from Logan airport, close to the river and easy to walk to and access all the popular spots in Boston. Price was good and the hotel itself was an ideal base to explore from. Staff were all friendly, courteous and helpful. Certainly coming back to Boston and would stay at the Royal Sonesta again when I do.

Pros: Ecxellent location to walk around Boston. 50min walk to aquarium, 10min to museum of science and Subways. Clean, friendly stuff, good options in reastaraunt. Cons: mattresses are old and soggy, got a back pain every morning. No microwave in a room, micro (not mini) fridge, small table. Pool looks not very clean as people don't take a shower before entrance, nobody superwise it and a sign not visible from the entrance.
